Outdoor growing of the autoflowering stain "Automaria II"
http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/...aradise_Seeds/

I have enriched the soil with seaweed compost and sheep-goat manure.

Sprouting at April the 5th, transplanting outdoors at their places at April the 8,

Unfortunatelly the first 20 days where the plant was in veg. thw weater was very bad, something not common here where I live. Too cold, many rains and cloudy weather at almost 80% of this time. The plants had not good growth, I suppose the roots are also underdeveloped...

The photos are from day 52, 3 weeks before harvest. Theya re only 25 cm tall with very small buds (I hope that they will grow a little more).
On the other side they are surprisingly full of crystals, you can see them when magnifying the photos ans the buds are almost covering fom bottom to top the main stain.

I hope to harvest about 5-10 gramms dried product from each and I thing that it will be very strong....

I will post some other photos a couple of days before harvest..

I am not too familiar with autos. I figure it cant just shrivel up and die after the buds get bigger as it is still a plant. I figure one day they can reveg.

the autoflowering stains are a compromise.

You need more than 10 plants to have a decent harvest like one ordinary plant.
The seeds are expensive, almost 10 euros the fem.
If something goes wrong the whole yield can be a ... joke. in 6 months an ordinary plant can fight and recover from almost any trouble, but in the short time of 10 weeks the autoflower stain with any kind of trouble is as good as dead. In my case the plants recieved only about 6 days of sunlight in the veg. So, at the time where the flowering began, at about the 22 day, the plants were actulally only 6 days old...
The autoflowering also is about 10-20% weaker than the ordinary...

On the other hand the 10 weeks from seed to harvest is a great help if you have limited time windows like me. one attempt from 1st Aprl till mid June, and a second one from 1st Sept. till mid November. The rest of the summer unfortunatelly I cannot deal with the growing..
